How to make a musical card?

The best way to congratulate a loved one is to give something unusual. For example, a musical card. It can be done at home. Joy is guaranteed, because we make a gift with our own hands. The simplest materials will be used - paper, cardboard, fabric.

You can prepare a musical card in electronic form. A whole bunch of editors will help with this.

• Printclick. It will be a good choice if you want to build a business relationship. A beautiful postcard with your company logo - and casual clients will become regular customers.
• Canva. Not a bad photo editor, you can choose a ready-made option from templates or create your own unique design. However, registration is required for him.
• Crello. Deprived of such a disadvantage. It also supports Russian.
• Movie Maker. Requires installation. Record congratulations or music, choose a slide style - and the program will automatically adjust the format, size and quality.

All that remains is to hand the birthday boy a disc recording, turn on the video on the TV, or order a large screen in a cafe. All in your hands.

Of course, it is more pleasant for the birthday person to receive a paper card that you made with your own hands. To please him, you can buy a ready-made postcard and design it in a new way. Or do everything yourself "from scratch".

To do this, you need a soldering iron and some parts.

• Board with aR8942A microcircuit. It connects via USB and stores up to 42 seconds of recording. Disadvantages - rarely found in stores and costs several thousand rubles. But you can use the board many times.
• 0.5W speaker with 8 ohm impedance.
• 2 transistors KT315 or similar.
• 4 multi-colored LEDs. We need those who scatter the light.
• Batteries GR2035 or similar. They should be as small as possible and give a total voltage of 6 V. To connect them, you need a block (factory-made or home-made from the neck of a plastic bottle). They are connected in series.
• Button. You need one so that when you press (when the card is folded), the contacts open.
• Wires. In order not to get confused, it is advisable to take multi-colored ones.
• Capacitors, resistors and other parts.

Assemble the electronic "stuffing" according to the schematic diagram.

Always follow safety precautions. Work in a well ventilated area.

• The circuit is mounted on thick cardboard. Arrange the wires so they do not intertwine. This will reduce losses and the music will be louder. Fix the components with tape, hot glue or electrical tape. Then all this needs to be covered with a cover.

• Make a cardboard box for the electronics, not necessarily rectangular. Its size should be the same as the finished postcard. Carefully punch holes for the speaker. You should get this design.

• From the outside, the postcard looks like this. Try to hide the attachments (such as the tape near the button). Then the gift will become even more beautiful and will warm the heart of your sister, mother or beloved girl for a long time.

When the technical part is ready, it's time to do the design.

In a handicraft store, it is advisable to buy a scrapbooking kit - tools and materials for decorating albums, books, photographs and other relics. And if they are not there, then use the means at hand:

• paper, cardboard;
• lace;
• scraps of tissue;
• beads;
• glue, paints (acrylics are good);
• tinsel, feathers, bows.

Of the tools you will need:

• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• paint brushes;
• stencils to keep the signature clean and neat.

Then proceed as you would with a regular greeting card.

1. For the base, take a piece of cardboard and fold it in half. Or cut in two and secure the halves with loops.
2. Make a congratulatory lettering. If your handwriting is like a scout's, then write and arrange it in a photo editor, and then print it on a color printer. Or pick up a beautiful picture from the Internet.
3. Stick decorations on the cover. It is desirable that they are brilliant, but any advice is inappropriate here. Trust your taste.
4. The edges can be covered with tinsel.
5. On the finished postcard, glue the box with the electronic "filling". Check if it works correctly.
6. Wait until the glue is completely dry and check everything again.

A homemade card like this will give you a lot of fun.

But attention is important not only to girls. Men will be delighted with an unusual gift no less than beautiful ladies.

The main difference is the design. Down with glamor, everything should be harsh and brutal.

Suitable for jewelry:

• military style buttons;
• cufflinks for shoulder straps;
• chevrons;
• cogs, gears from the alarm clock;
• tarpaulin and camouflage fabric;
• everything is clear and brutal.

And you need to make a postcard strong and reliable:

• it is better to fasten the jewelry with screws or sew it to the cover with harsh threads;
• rivets on the contours of the postcard will give a monumental style and hold the tarp well;
• photos of cars, planes or girls will appeal to everyone;
• most importantly, do not forget to write your congratulatory text.

Making a card for a man is as easy as making a gift for a girl.

Now it remains to come up with beautiful wishes, and your congratulations will be remembered by the birthday man for a long time.
